The official alloy wheel show-off thread. Lets see your rims!

This is a discussion on The official alloy wheel show-off thread. Lets see your rims! within Tyre & Alloy wheel Section, part of the Modifications & Accessories category; HRS, 15k for 4 (a bit on higher side i believe.dealer blamed transportation charges)...

Called it old school cause since this particular model, there have already been 2 revisions to the car. Hence, ours is now old school
(We are driving the original Verna which was the one when the car first launched).

Shenoy has upsized to 195, im running 205. The ES100s are old hat now & discontinued since quite a while back. But yes, will definately be looking at S Drives or CPC2s for my tyre change. Guess Shenoy choose A Drives as he wanted comfort perhaps.

Thanks @Xehaust and @Predatorwheelz,I was originally planning for 205/55 but was apprehensive about the load required on the engine for that extra pull on the highway especially when overtaking. Even 195/55 has some initial lag compared to stock 175/70 but its negligible. Car is much stable now in wet conditions, curves and also at High speeds with 150+ kmph, and looking at those tyre threads, should definitely last its miserable life in Indian road condition . There is a marginal drop in FE though as observed during long distance drive

Im sure you get enough of this, but just cannot resist. A BMW lover that drives an Audi is hilarious! [No offense]
Those alloys do look good though!

This should be put up in the Jokes thread! Perhaps they came across GTO's Pre-worshipped thread & realised that petrolheads are willing to pay a premium for well looked after cars

Haha Thanks Xehaust, my handle should simply be carlover, BMW's simply disappoint these days specially with the cars they are offering in India. I mean the M3 is the only one which deserves the tag of ultimate driving machine and even then I would choose the XFR over it!! And wouldn't these alloys look weird on the previous-gen A8? that too in gold lol!

Dude the Spark is looking good. The way it is looking now is better than the previous ones you had. Doesn't mean the previous ones were bad thought. I believe member Harish Nayak also has the same alloys as you did.
